In regards to my post about starting my correspondence with my soon to be new friend in Tanzania I realized after having time to think about my comments that I need to adjust something. Even though we now have the technology to instantly translate another language I will be writing in English to follow the guidelines of Compassion International.
I know that they have to be sure everything they receive is proper and not saying something that would cause problems and I would just be complicating things for them if all my content was in Swahili.
Didn't want to throw anyone else off thinking it was a good thing to do. I still like the ability to use the translation device so I can get an idea of how the language works though.
Hope everyone has an awesome Sunday.
that's great... to be able to communicate with him in Swahili.
ReplyDeleteI tried using google translate, from Filipino to English to Filipino and it sounded really funny.
I hope you get a good online translation service so you will be able to get your message across.
cheers, Odie!
and thanks for visiting my blog regularly. appreciate it.
